Tilley's Liberty Fabric Print Men's Long-Sleeved Shirt : Fine Fabric, Functional, Fashionable

I knew Tilley made stellar travel hats, but I had no idea they made such attractive apparel, too. I've never received as many compliments on a piece of clothing as I have on my Tilley Liberty Fabric Print Long-Sleeved Shirt.

Made in Canada out of ultra fine, super soft Liberty of London cotton fabric, this easy fit button-down shirt has become my favorite shirt for dining out, parties, and every other occasion. Most often I wear it with jeans and black boots, but it could easily be a work shirt with different pants.

The shirt is a dream to wear because the material is softer than anything I've ever worn before; it also breathes well and dries quickly, making it ideal for travel. When I go on trips I try to pack light, so I only take my Tilley Liberty Shirt and two other tops. It looks good on me, and if I need to wash it, it dries on a hanger in a few hours (longer for hand washing). Because the fabric is so thin and the weave so tight, the shirt doesn't really need ironing (in fact, the care instructions say "Do not iron."

I'm impressed with how well made this shirt is. The stitching, the buttons, the seams--everything about this garment is top quality. I'll be wearing this shirt for years to come. I had never heard about Liberty fabrics before I tested this shirt, but my friends who have are very impressed (and they can't stop grabbing my sleeves so they can touch the fabric).

Tilley's Liberty Print Long-Sleeved Shirt has made me realize the difference in quality of some of my clothes. I've concluded that I'd rather have a few shirts like this one than several of lesser quality.

Color: Blue Deco. Sizes: S-3XL. I tested a men's size XL and found it to be a bit big through the shoulders, although I'm really in between L and XL. I also found the sleeves almost short. If you have very long arms, you might want to try a size larger or ask Tilley about different styles.

Bottom Line: A well-made shirt that's both functional and fashionable.-B.M. (Dec. '10)
